Taylor, I'm sure you've heard it all before, but I have to say it myself:  I have never followed American Idol.  You're what brought me, and kept me, watching the show.  It's nice to see originality and genuine talent in such a commercial venue.  Not that I don't think things like AI are valuable--there's just so much hype around them.  There are only two people in this contest that are worth that much hype--you and Chris.  Chris has everything you have, but you seem to have more fun.  It's great hearing you perform, but it's even better watching you perform.  You just make people happy, and we can all use that.  I'd love to hear a full version of "A Change is Gonna Come" or anything else by Sam Cooke.  I'm in Canada, so I can't vote for you, but you're already an icon.  You broke the AI mold.  Thank you.
